    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    Are you sending the email from the same Outlook account to itself, or from another email address?

    If it’s from the same account, Outlook may block or auto-filter it. This is normal sometimes.

    Please check these folders:

    • Junk / Spam
    • Deleted Items
    • Archive
    • Other / Focused tab (if enabled)

    Next, try this test:

    Send yourself an email from a different account (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).

    Do you receive it?

    Click "Add comment" to let me know.

    Regards,

    John J.D.
